It didn't perform as well as the $700 Roomba 880 we reviewed in 2013. We also want to see features like a remaining battery life readout
Push alerts and third-party integrations added to the iRobot Home app

Cleaning performance, Remote access
Loud in normal mode, Multiple cleaning locations
iRobot continues to iterate on an already great robotics platform for cleaning your home. While there's plenty of competition for your dollars, its this continued investment in R&D that is delivering improvements to cleaning performance and robot intellig...
If you remember the rubbish robot vacuums of yore, the Roomba 980 is nothing of the sort. It will do your floor cleaning for you. A great little luxury if you can afford it...

The easy way to do housework, remote control with app, finds its own way home to charge up
Somewhat limited bin size, can get confused as to location
If you have a reasonably neat and orderly home, especially one with a single level, then the iRobot Roomba 980 vacuum cleaning robot could be a great addition. All that will be left for you to do (aside from emptying the bin, and doing the other required...
As far as robot vacuums go, the Roomba 980 is excellent. It cleans fairly thoroughly, looks great, doesn't make too much noise, and is super-simple to use. Suction or sense of direction might not quite match Dyson's all-seeing 360 Eye, but it comes very c...

iRobot's Wi-Fi-enabled Roomba 980 is an exciting hunk of next-gen vacuum tech, but it didn't wow us during testing. I'd hold off on this pricey automated floor cleaner until we review Neato's Botvac Connected and Dyson's 360 Eye...
Extremely user-friendly companion app, Very good at finding its way back to its charging station, Comes with HEPA filters to grab errant dust particles
Often piercingly loud, Circular shape hinders vacuum from thoroughly cleaning corners, Not the best for pet owners looking to clean up fur
The Roomba 980 is manufactured by the original robot vacuum purveyors, but more competition has cropped up in this space since Roomba debuted. This vacuum has plenty of tread to make it over the uneven parts of your house, suction that can suck up all the...
Syncs to phone, Very intuitive navigation, Long run time, Automatically returns to charging station,
Pricey, Can miss some debris
The long run time and the intuitive navigation of the iRobot Roomba 980 makes it a great choice for those with larger homes or multiple rooms -- or both. It syncs to your smartphone so you can start it from anywhere...
Abstract: Robot vacuums are becoming more and more common, and with that increasing popularity comes an increase in competition. There are quite a few big names in the vacuum industry, but not many are as well known as iRobot or Dyson, the latter of which fairly re...
Yes, the Roomba 980 comes at a premium. By comparison, there are view vacuums, be it canister, upright or handheld vacuums, that cost this much; $900. However, with it you get a vacuum that is capable of cleaning both carpet and hardwood all without damag...
